Over the past four years, HAPF has infused $400,000 into 19 nonprofits, helping to maintain and expand critical community programming.
The nine HAPF grant recipients include:

Oak Square YMCA
:
$15,000 to provide fitness and nutrition programs at the Vocational Advancement Center and the Veronica B. Smith Senior Center over the next year;
The Fishing Academy:
$10,000 to enable Allston-Brighton youth free admission to group fishing excursions that will introduce them to the natural resources of Eastern Massachusetts and help reinforce teamwork, discipline, and self-confidence (a total of $45,000 in HAPF grants over four years);
The Literacy Connection, a ministry of the congregation of the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Boston:
$8,850 to support English literacy training, tutoring, and citizenship preparation classes for Allston-Brighton residents (a total of $18,650 in HAPF grants over two years);
Vocational Advancement Center (VAC)
:
$18,380 to cover tuition costs for local residents with disabilities enrolled in the VAC’s Computer Training Program, one of several programs that assist individuals in choosing, obtaining, and retaining meaningful employment (a total of $43,380 in HAPF grants over two years);
